Ashareth crumpled to the floor with a blood-curdling scream.

Breanna towered over him, cold and icy.

He rolled onto his back, eyes bloodshot and desperate. "Why?" He choked out loathingly.

"You have deceived me," She said gently, as if explaining something to a child with much patience, "Not even you, can deceive me."

She saw the look in his eyes, that screamed hypocrite.

"Ah- but I've only had five six month long trifles of my own. You've deceived me from the beginning- till the end. Besides, it was time for you to move on. Jacob will replace you in your power as he did in my affections a thousand times over."

"How…" The last of his strength was fleeing him, and he couldn't finish.

"I find these things out, Ashareth. I always find out." She took one step forward, and with stunning speed, finished him herself.

Roxy pulled him along roughly, turning to scream at him, "WHO DID YOU SEND?!"

He stared at her blankly. "I haven't had phone access or anything."

"Mind connection," Roxy muttered, "You must have used that with those other wolves…"

"Actually," He said icily, "I've only been in wolf form once since you brought us here."

Since you brought us here. How innocent it sounded.

"Did you use it then?"

"No."

She slammed into him, knocking him against the wall, leaving him gasping for air.

"I'm not doing any BS with you right now," She whispered, her face a fraction length aways from his.

He recovered his breath. His initial surprise melted to bitterness.

"I haven't had any connection with anyone." He told her clearly, his dark eyes flashing.

She was a foot away from him within two seconds.

She started to walk away again, quicker than before.

He waited.

She spun around, "HURRY UP!"

He gazed at her darkly.

"I don't have time for this," She whispered, her eyes frenzied.

"Leave without me then. Where am I going to go?"

She shook her head repeatedly. "No," She hesitated, thinking, "NO." She confirmed to herself.

"Then I want answers."

"What?" She asked, her eyes sliding shut, fingers pressed to her temples for patience.

"Where's my daughter?"

"Already been moved to safer quarters."

"WHERE?"

"It's in the dungeon- there's a passageway from there. I'm taking you there too."

He nodded. "Why are we evacuating? What was the chaos?"

"There has been a murder scandal with Ashareth- we don't know the details yet- and one of the Cullen clan- well, she…persuaded the guard to let her in. The rest of them followed. They've ambushed the premises. We think they're looking for you."

"The CULLENS are HERE?"

"Yes."

"They've come for us?" A thousand plans were whirring furiously behind his calm face.

"Yes." She turned away before whirling on him suspiciously,"And don't get any funny ideas."

"Noted."

And when she turned away for the second time, it was impossible to hide his wicked grin.
